ASUS P5K Deluxe - Intel P35 Bearlake + E6600 B1 / Q6600 B3

[orion23]

Glad i could help

Thanks for the NB/SB cooling info... looks like Asus did listen when it came to NB/SB heatsink contact this time

I decided to leave mine intact as the board is running fine as is

How do I tell the temperature of the NB?

What program can give me this reading?

P5K based Commando 2?

P5K based Commando 2?

it's gonna be Blitz Formula for DD2. Blitz Extreme for DD3. http://www.techpowerup.com/?31835

Would the prices of these boards reduce once we get to the official release date?

Release date??? Go to your local Fry's...or do a price grabber search. These things are available all over the place. SEE FOR YOUSRELF

Go get one...you'll be happy Price will surely drop a little after awhile but right now they are mid 250's...not really too bad considering the performance.

How accurate is PC probe mobo temp? It seems to register so high when I am running blend, easily in the 50C range or better, but my NB isn't that hot to touch and I know the airflow is ok. What is it measuring?

For people running blend (especially with quads and boosted NB/FSB volts), what is your PC Probe mobo temp reading after about 15 minutes or so?

[Lalaboy]

did you remove the coil or leave it intact ?

I removed the coil!

Here is my Q6600 maxing out on the P5K Deluxe, not bad.

Putting more voltage on NB, SB, FSB and cpu doenst make a difference, its just the Q6600 maxing out under the tuniq I think.

A bix thanks to eva2000 for creating this thread and making life easier for the rest of us. Although I love this MOBO for its higher FSB, my initial scrutiny clearly indicates that I will not get as high a stable clock (Super Pi 32M, 3dMark06, etc.) with my QX6700 as on my previous board, i.e. the P5W DH Deluxe (BIOS 1601), which was stable at 4,5 (multiplier 15 and 300FSB). Installed Vista last night and have just started fiddling around a bit, but first super pi 32M run at around 4,3 is not so bad after all...

[OldGuy]

Must...Have...More...Voltage...

very nice kent. what cooling are you using?

Supposedly Penryn will be using a slightly different power delivery system; will the ASUS P5K Deluxe be compatible with that, or would a new motherboard be needed even still for Penryn?

The P5K Deluxe is 45nm compatible, says so right on the box
Also just wanted to thank all the people in this thread for the great info about the P5K, I just got all my parts 5/25/07 and am still putting stuff together.
This is my first post at XS but I've been a long time lurker.

How hard is it to remove the heatpipe coolers on the P5K and reseat it with AS5?

Good stuff , welcome to XS

When I was trying to install windows I couldn't get BIOS to detect a drive unless I was plugged into either SATA5 or SATA6. None of the other 4 ports can be detected by bios on boot when a powered SATA drive is connected to them. Am I missing something with a jumper on the board or a setting in bios?

I would hate to RMA this board as otherwise it is a nice toy.

TIA,

How do I tell the temperature of the NB?

What program can give me this reading?

By looking at the reported motherboard temp using Asus PC Probe or whatever.

How accurate is PC probe mobo temp? It seems to register so high when I am running blend, easily in the 50C range or better, but my NB isn't that hot to touch and I know the airflow is ok. What is it measuring?

Mine is low 30's under load but I only have a dual core instead of quad. NB voltage was up to 1.55v with a high FSB.

[ThorLite]

P5K is a very nice board too bad the 6600 is FSB limited at 500MHz.Ram is GSkill HZ PC6400 at 1200MHz 2.5V...

Just like to add these are the parts I got for the new Rig I'm still puting the peices together atm (darn cousin's wedding ) but I'll post back results once it's completed but so far It will post @ 3ghz w/ stock volts of 1.35 just bumped it to 1333 bus and all 4 gigs of memory work fine at 1066 w/ 2.2v @ stock timings, I'm still putting all the parts in the case though and cable routing in the P180 is a PITA w/ the PCP&C Silencer as its longer that most power supplies.

it's important to know the max fsb for the new p35 boards,since I just found out that new 1333 c2d's (E6750,E6850) will have lower multis.
E6750 will max at 8 and E6850 at 9.
this means the subzero cooling owners must get boards will really high fsb wall (arround 600) to achieve
high clocks on, say,e6750.Otherwise it (oc) will be the same as on e6700 with max multi 10.

have you tried a higher multi to get a higher OC?..what was the max FSB for that event?

Thanks, appreciate it ... Looks like I will be checking temps and see if they are acceptable...If not I will be removing and reseating

Run prime95 blend and monitor mobo temps. I am curious what you get, though I suspect a dual core isn't as stressing as a quad on the mobo.

Any word on new chipset water cooling blocks for the P35, or will old chipset blocks (such as Maze4) work on it still?
